The most common types of single ply membranes used in New Zealand are PVC and TPO membranes. These membranes can be applied mechanically or by means of glue. The sheet end laps are sealed by using an automated hot air welding machine that ensures complete quality of weld on each joint. Single ply roofs are lightweight, flexible, cost effective, easy to install and safe because they are installed flame free. which makes them increasingly popular for both new build and refurbishment projects.
